In the interview accompanying the photos, the outlet spoke about the vaping incident in regard to BLACKPINK’s privacy.

Blackpink’s fame is such that privacy is a luxury and the tiniest bit of spontaneity from any member might become an incident. A recent clip of Jennie vaping indoors in Italy prompted an immediate formal apology statement from her reps.
